"Call it the new black: Climate change again is in vogue, with media coverage in 2014 fully recovered – for now – from its recession-era dip, based on an analysis of The Daily Climate's archives.

Coverage grew for a second straight year, approaching its 2009 high and rebounding nearly 70  percent above its 2012 low.

Driving the trend were energy and political stories: Fracking, coal regulations, the UN climate talks all had more coverage last year than in 2013."
